So I have found this bug in 1.5, searched and found a previous issue reported.
Now the affected version is only for older versions.
Question: how do we act?
1. Create a new issue with updated version.
2. Hope that the original submitter will get back and update it?
3. Somehow allow other than the op to update tickets?
4. Forget about it, nothing can be fixed here.
This issue tracker is not for general discussion, for general discussion please go to: Minecraft Forums.
And in this case, I would recommend voting the existing issue up and commenting that you have confirmed it in a certain version.
